Closing Day

If you have come this far, then this means that it is almost time for a congratulations, but not yet. Do not forget to tie up these loose ends:

Final Walk-Through Inspection.

More of a formality than anything else, the final inspection takes place a day before, or the day of the closing. You will visit the property to verify that all is in working order, everything is the same as when you last viewed the property, that there are no extra items left behind, and that everything included in your purchase is still at the property.

Home Services and Utilities.

Remember to transfer and activate home services and utilities after the closing.

Be Prepared.

We are ready to assist you should an unforeseen glitch pop up, even at this last stage. Something at the property breaks down, or some other minor detail – no need to worry. We have encountered these problems before so we know how to handle them efficiently and in a stress-free manor.

Closing.

The closing agent will furnish all parties involved with a settlement statement, which summarizes and details the financial transactions enacted in the process. You and the seller(s) will sign this statement, as well as the closing agent, certifying its accuracy. If you are obtaining financing, you will have to sign all pertinent documentation required by the lending institution. If you are unable to attend the scheduled closing, arrangements can be made depending on the circumstances and the notice that we receive. If you are bringing funds to the transaction, you can elect to either have the funds wired electronically into the closing agent’s escrow account, or bring a certified bank check to the closing in the amount specified on the settlement statement. The seller should arrange to have all property keys and any other important information for you at the closing so that you may receive these items at this time.

Quick Search

Ryan is a great realtor to work with! He is very professional yet personable. During the several months of condo searching, he listened to my preferences and gave me a good variety of options. He was also great at keeping up the communication with me. He always responded promptly to my email, texts, and phone calls. What I liked the most about him was that I could feel he was speaking and acting with my interest in mind at all times. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to purchase a property in Chicago area.

Ryan was our agent for the recent purchase of a condo in the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor – for many reasons: He is very knowledgeable, he offered up good strategy and advice when needed, he was never pushy. We appreciated that we had someone with integrity on our side and felt that he truly looked out for our best interest at every step. He also went beyond the call of duty to research things for us and never let us down with things he said he’d follow up on. He is a genuinely nice person who even at the end of the process drove over an hour to our close, just to be by our side to the end.

I have worked with many realtors in my time. None can compare to the level of service we received from Ryan. He helped find the just right condo for us in the just right neighborhood (Lincoln Park). After the agreement to buy was completed there were some appraisal and mortgage issues which arose... and Ryan was right there to help resolve every obstacle. I would recommend him highly and would work with him again if the situation arose.

Ryan has been our realtor for the past 5 years and has supported us through multiple purchases, sales, and leasing opportunities. He is extremely professional, accessible, and most importantly always delivers.
